I know it’s not directly tied to the current conversation but I wanted to ask regardless. Could anyone here with knowledge of the Paper Mario series help me think of some QoL choices to the classic gameplay I could make for my game ideas? I have stuff like a fast travel system as well as quickly selecting partners (Mario and Peach would have four each so one mapped to each direction) with the d-pad at any time.

Sometimes, Funkos look good, other times...

You get things like the Spongebob Funko.

sometimes you are betteer off getting the better looking nanodroids

 

[DerpingPikachu]

I prefer articulated figures anyway, i'm not the biggest fan of funkos and their soulless eyes.

Taking inspiration from the newer titles, maybe once Mario reaches a certain level, weaker enemies can be defeated by jumping on them or hitting them with a hammer. I don't think that was ever implemented in the orginal games unless you had a badge equipped.

You could also add an option to replay certain parts of the game. Maybe even a special training mode where players can practice dodging the attacks of enemies they've tattled on.

I kinda like them. Have my own collection of them in my bedroom, recently got Symmetra.

 

[PeridotGX]

Pick a game. Any game.

Give it a new Funky mode (Funky Kong is added as an important character to the game’s plot, and you can play as him to make it easier)

How does the game change?

PMD2.

Funky joins the guild at the same time as the party. He's level 100, and his moveset is Roar of Time, Precipice Blades, Light that Burns the Sky, and Judgement. nstead of the MC returning back to live via friendsip, it's due to Funky's sheer bodaciousness

I'm doing ok. Played Overwatch recently and did well. Got some sick plays with Junkrat, I'm getting more consistent with Tracer, and my Sigma's improving too. The Sombra was a little rough tonight though lol

And that's funny lol

So Pokémon is going to uncover the mystery Pokémon on their website "shortly".

Still betting on Sirfetch'd

I hope it’s at least interesting. I’ve kind of given up on SwSh.

Thank you, I’ll have to keep those in mind. I have been trying to think of some ideas for dealing with weaker enemies at high levels, one idea I think I had was for my Reznor partner to have a field ability of scaring away weaker enemies when Mario has her out in the field.

Man, dbz kakarot looks so fun. It makes me big sad that it doesn't seem to be coming to switch. hoping they port it later. Other dbz fans, what do you think of the game?

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Did anyone ever play Astral Chain? I really wanted to talk about that one.

Sigh. I really hope it did well. I really want the genre to continue. But like, nobody makes hack n slashes anymore and they don’t sell well unless you cram in all sorts of unnecessary RPG elements.

It looks... alright. Nothing truly wowed me though.

I just want a DB game that starts at OG Dragon Ball and goes all the way to Super. With a bonus chapter on GT. I just want something other than DBZ

Yeah, I understand that. Maybe if this game does well they can have those as dlc or in a sequel.

I wonder if there will be other information too, though I would happily mark my calendar for the sole announcement of SwoleFetch'd

I like Rhea, I find her character arc to be pretty interesting, though not as much as Dimitri's.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

How the hell is Mario an italian plumber is Italy doesn’t exist in the Mario world? I know the cartoons said he was from Brooklyn and went down a magic drain (which i will believe until Nintendo outright states otherwise), but the current canon suggests he’s just always been in the Mario world.

All past trailers have had at least two new Pokémon.

So safe bet there'll be more.

Super Mario Odyssey 2 with an Italian Kingdom with other people of Mario’s species as the residents

I personally always took it that our world exists in Mario universe. Basically another Kingdom that you can get to through certain warp pipes around our world.

Clearly Italy is a magical kingdom, just like the cap kingdom, luncheon kingdom, etc.

Yo Wario Bros. where’d you see that Pokémon trailer announcement? I can’t find it.

Edit: double post ****

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Super Mario Odyssey 2 but Peach is playable with Tiara.

C'mon. Then Ninty can have BotW 2: Zelda's Adventure and Odyssey 2: Peach's Chronicle. Two games with the two female characters playable.

Of course it's probably not gonna happen

You’re gettin Luigi, Blue Toad, and Toadette and you’re gonna like it.

It'll be called the "Eyy! Wassa' Matta' You! Kingdom."

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Lmao at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Toadette ****ing replaces Luigi for gender equality since Peach is apparently nothing but a useless plot device now and Luigi can apparently miss out on some games while Toadette recently has been playable or seen in the base game of every Mario related product

You know. It would have been a nice detail if Daisy used Toadette in Smash.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Mario and Luigi were born on Yoshi’s Island, sent to the real world, then returned back to the “Mario world” in their 20’s, with the events of Donkey Kong happening in New Donk City, before they went to the Mushroom Kingdom.

That is the correct canon.

That, or Nintendo threw out the “he’s from Brooklyn” idea years ago in order to have one semi-consistent world.

 

[Wademan94]

Like imagine if used different color Toads with her alts allowing for to use Toadette.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show was the first Isekai anime.

I wouldn’t go that far but at the very least I can see Toadette being present where there’s a playable Toad.

Also is it kinda bad that I’m kinda going for equal gender representation in my Paper Mario game with how I’m laying out both Mario and Peach’s parties?

Absolutely not! It’s actually quite admirable. I wish more companies did it.

I like working out the lore for games, and the Mario series timeline (between the Mario, Yoshi, and DK games) isn’t really laid out. So I thought I’d try to piece it together.

Ohh okay, cool. You should definitely make that, i'd be interested in seeing it whenever you start working on it.

 

[Wademan94]

While I have it brought up, this is how I’ve laid out the parties for my Paper Mario game so far:
Mario’s Party:

Scribble (Sketchbook)-F
Rezqueen (Reznor)-F
Jaki (Lakitu)-F
Scuttlelee (Scuttlebug)-M
One more M character

Peach’s Party:

Sketch (Pencil)-M

Roshin (Yoshi)-M
Unnamed Duplighost character (presumably M though could be F too
One more F or M character depending on the previous partner

Obviously this isn’t the only selling point of these characters nor is this the only reason for making my partners and it might not even be obvious unless it was pointed out. My main inspiration for how I’m approaching these partners is Chrono Trigger and I want to make each character as important and useful as I can regardless.
